When a major storm unleashes its full fury in a community, the results can be devastating––and quite unexpected.

That’s so in many communities in the Twin Cities area, where the recent storm caused severe damage to homes and property, covering the ground with hail and leaving some residents without power for more than 24 hours. Even for an area that is no stranger to quick thunderstorms, tornados and unusual weather patterns, this storm was brutal.

High winds, driving rains and hailstones measuring up to 1.75 inches were reported in Blaine, causing roof damage, creating pockmarks in home siding, and downing trees. The fast-moving storm affected a widespread area.

Arranging for repairs following severe weather is invariably difficult. But, if you’re in the process of selling or buying a home, and closing is imminent, different kinds of deadlines loom, and decision-making becomes complicated. Uncertainty reigns. Real estate transactions can be stressful under the best of circumstances, and pre-closing jitters are common, but under these conditions, the need for fast action is multiplied and uncertainty reigns.

In Blaine, Clear Choice Restoration and real estate agent Kris Lindahl have both been there to help keep home sales on track. They are both working to help coordinate necessary repairs and restoration in a timely fashion, and to assist both sellers and buyers to successfully finalize pending transactions.

Lindahl stands ready to assist with scheduling and procedural details, while Clear Choice Restoration works hand in hand with insurance agents, estimators and inspectors to facilitate and complete the actual work. Both teams have seen the local devastation up close and personal. They were on hand to help calm the fears of sellers whose homes were damaged, and to reassure uncertain buyers. Clear Choice has built a reputation on its roofing, siding and window repair expertise, quality materials, fine workmanship and responsive service. The company offers free storm damage assessment, and will work with owners to schedule and finish work on a priority basis as needed.

This is a great example of community members coming together to help those in need. Even in quiet times, a real estate professional and a reputable home repair firm can accrue benefit to a home seller. Both the Lindahl team and Clear Choice invite owners or potential buyers to ask about available services. They promise to be sensitive to local concerns even when the weather is fine!
